BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING, BACK OVER PREVENTION: WARNINGS
The rear camera feed is very blurry. Often times it in usable. Sometimes cross traffic alert does not work. I know this is part of the recall but with no solution available should I be entitled to a rental while waiting?

SERVICE BRAKES, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS
The Corsair menu includes a Pre-Collision Assistance (PCA) option that controls Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) and a Distance Indication icon (DA) in the display. The AEB and DA have not functioned at all since we bought the car (08/10/2024). A dealer has had the Corsair 3 times for a total of 12 days and has not fixed the problem. In fact the dealer has stated: "Customer should not expect the car to stop". Neither the display nor touch screen have posted any messages or warnings. The last time for 9 days we had a loaner Corsair. Neither the AEB nor the DA functioned.

BACK OVER PREVENTION
The contact owns a 2024 Lincoln Corsair. The contact stated that upon attempting to purchase the brand-new vehicle on September 1, 2025, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle was on a Stop Sale because the VIN was included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V315000 (Back Over Prevention). The contact was later contacted by the dealer and was advised that the recall repair was completed, and the vehicle could be purchased. The contact purchased the vehicle on [XXX], and picked up the vehicle three days later. The contact later received a recall notification from the Mobile App, a week after picking up the vehicle from the dealer. The dealer was contacted and confirmed that the recall repair had not been performed prior to the purchase and delivery of the vehicle. The dealer offered to pick up the vehicle to complete the recall repair; however, the contact declined. The vehicle was taken to Gordie Boucher Lincoln of West Allis (3161 S 108th St, West Allis, WI 53227); where the recall repair was performed. Upon reading the dealer's reviews online, the contact became aware that it was common for the dealer to provide false information to mislead consumers. The manufacturer was not yet notified of the issue. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I have written before about this VIN not being included in campaign 24V954000 merely because it was manufactured in June 2024 and have gotten no substantive reply. Now that the software fix is ruled inadequate there is a 2nd recall, still not including my vehicle. I have had 2 events of not being able to charge the car yet the Ford dealership claims there is no faults found. Now with the car being less than a year old the range of a full charge has decreased from 30+ miles when new to now being in the low 20's. No doubt in mind due to the automatic software updates that Ford/Lincoln have made. What more evidence do you require to include my VIN and defective battery in your recall, to protect my safety and investment.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
My 2022 Lincoln Corsair has an open NHTSA recall (25V789 / Ford 25SC4) for a high-voltage battery cell internal short circuit that can cause sudden loss of motive power. There is currently NO remedy available. Before this recall was issued, my vehicle already lost power while I was driving on the highway, creating an immediate crash risk. This confirms the defect is active in my vehicle. In addition to the recall, the vehicle has experienced multiple major failures including: a long block engine replacement, HV battery program involvement, electrical system issues, axle/drivetrain repairs, and multiple CSP campaigns. These failures show a repeated pattern of serious defects. Lincoln Customer Relations and my dealership have stated they “cannot do anything” because there is no remedy, and told me I must continue driving the vehicle despite the documented highway shutdown. I am extremely concerned for my safety because the recall states that loss of power increases the risk of a crash, and I have already experienced this. I am filing this complaint because the vehicle is unsafe to operate, has an active safety defect with no available repair, and I have not been offered a safe resolution by Lincoln. I am requesting NHTSA review and investigation. VIN: [XXX] Mileage: ~57,200 INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

POWER TRAIN
* The rear differential failed/broke 12 hours into a 13 hour trip. There have been recalls for this issue for previous years but not for 2023 models (yet) * This happened on the interstate and we could have been seriously injured or killed with the sudden loss of function if this happened during the day. Fortunately, it happened at night with limited traffic on a Sunday. * The problem has been confirmed with a Lincoln dealer where the car was towed * Other than the service department at a dealership, the car has not been inspected by any other agency * No warnings of any kind prior to the problem. After the rear differential failure, then every warning light imaginable went off.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The audible on the turn signal is very quiet and hard to hear. The dealership inspected this and confirmed it was very low. The dealership compared it against another Corsair and noted that was also low. I checked with another user of the same 20025 Corsiar. She had the same problem. I feel that this low audible signal will cause accidents. This occurred since I first leased the car.

Transmission realized a catastrophic and destructive failure. The vehicle immediately lost power and speed. Scattering debris and transmission fluid on the highway. Causing a safety concern for me and other drivers. Confirmed by a dealer. Inspected by the dealer. I experienced irregular transmission shifts and shuttering at times. I was told by the dealer service department that Lincoln considers this normal operation.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Seems to be an electrical problem with the car. i have had it in for repairs 5xs now cant seem to fix it or cant find the problem. The entire ADAS system fails at different points. Sometimes i get warnings. One time entire car went black while driving on highway. Lincoln claims no faults were stored. Head lights light on their own while parked and locked or sometimes they don't work at all. Rear tailgate opened while driving. Ventilation system displays in Chinese. This has been going on for a little over a year now.

LANE DEPARTURE: ASSIST, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION
Since [XXX], I had my new car for five months and began receiving pre-collision assist not available and park aid malfunction. I have been receiving these since March. I took it into the dealer and they said that there would be a software update by May 1, 2025, this is the middle of June. I contacted them again around the first of June and the dealer told me the Software Updates would be available by the middle of June. This is a very dangerous situation because I do not have line assist and I don’t have any cruise. I feel like no one is listening to me since I still do not have the Software Updates and cannot use those functions on my new car. When this first occurred, my car threw on the brakes and sped up by itself. I need someone to listen. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

SERVICE BRAKES
My 2021 Lincoln Corsair has 20,691 miles on it. At a dealer visit on June 9, 2025 for an oil change and routine maintenance I was told by the dealer that the rear brakes needed replacement. A friend of mine with a 2022 Corsair with 18000 miles on it has the same issue with rear brakes being worn out. This appears to be a common issue with late model Escapes, Corsairs, and Ford Edges. Rear brakes should never wear out in 20K miles unless the calipers are sticking which is what is happening. This appears to be a safety issue as the rear brakes could fail at any time with these low mileage vehicles.
